On Tuesday evening I met the owner of a British company, who was thinking about building a sizeable factory in Romania, and several of his associates. This evening he wrote to the group of us and some others to say he has made the decision to invest here.
This is very good news but that's not why I'm blogging. I cannot resist quoting what he said in his mail about me.
Finally comfortable in my own skin, huh? It's true but it took half a century.
The possibly useless information was about Rochester where he lives. I told him about the Prince of Transylvania who’s buried in the cathedral but was an imposter. More here.
By the way I wrote that article, 25 Reasons why I Love Living in Romania, in about an hour and a half and it has gone viral. Every day another thousand clicks. It's reached 72,000 clicks and the rate never slows down. Here, providence is telling me, is the subject of my book.

Paul Wood, as a seasoned traveller of the world I have the privilege of meeting many amazing people from interesting back grounds and with tales of joy, woe or general frustration. Generally the last person I want to meet abroad is an Englishman. If they are not moaning about the country they are in, they are moaning about something they left behind, or they are covered in tattoo`s and wearing a stupid football shirt, which is normally at least two sizes too small covering a body that has never played football moaning about the English breakfast they ate in the afternoon.
Then we met Paul! An English gem, full of joy and an infectious positivity and zest for life, clearly very comfortable in his own skin and indeed even more comfortable in Bucharest. A joy to meet, a font of possibly useless knowledge along with some very useful knowledge in respect of recruitment in Romania. I urge you all to read his blog, if you read it with an open mind and accept it as opinion and not fact it will make you chuckle and you will most certainly relate to many of the comparisons mentioned. It is excellent! http://pvewood.blogspot.ro/2013/04/25-reasons-why-i-love-living-in-romania.html

So when will you start writing the book?
